I Want You
Joseph Williams Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
still my world seems frozen
the one I love
is so far away
miss the nights
we just had together
felt so right
But I could not stay
All that I want is you forever
You give me strength to carry on
All that I want is us together
where we belong
I can hear
how your voice is breaking
out of fear
of us losing ground
losing ground
One day I will stand at your door
and I won't be leaving you anymore
On the wings of love we will soar
Together we can make a brand new day
The lyrics of Joseph Williams's song "I Want You" paint a picture of a man deeply in love with someone who is physically distant from him. The first verse depicts the contrast between a beautiful summer day and the singer's inner world, which feels frozen without the person he loves. He reminisces about the romantic nights they shared together, admitting that they felt so right but that he could not stay. The second verse portrays the woman's vulnerability as she seems to be actively avoiding the possibility of losing the connection with him; her voice is breaking out of fear of losing ground. The song's chorus summarizes the singer's deep longing for the relationship to last forever, finding the strength to carry on through the love they share. The final lines of the song suggest that one day he will go to her and never again leave, with the two of them soaring on the wings of love, creating a brand new day together.

Oh, Death
Would you roll on by
Got a feeling I'm just winging
Counting down the time
Oh, Lord
Oh, won't you tell me why
Gotta take me when I'm grooving
When I'm feeling so alive
Never saw you coming
Rollin' up behind me
In the pouring rain
I was wondering when you'd show up
I never saw you coming
You're never where I'm looking
It could be any day
You're a spirit that don't care 'bout love (never saw you coming)
Oh, Lord
Won't you tell me why
Such a fucking secret
When you will arrive
Got a feeling I'm just wait here
Thinkin' 'bout my life
Running out of time Never saw you coming
(Something's up, something's coming down)
Rollin' up behind me
(You don't really think you stickin' 'round)
In the pouring rain
I was wondering when you'd show up
I never saw you coming
(You can fight, you can scream and shout)
You're never where I'm looking
(You can ask what's it all about)
It could be any day
You're a spirit that don't care 'bout love (never saw you coming) (Something's up, something's coming down)
Rollin' up behind me
(You don't really think you stickin' 'round)
In the pouring rain
I was wondering when you'd show up
I never saw you coming
(You can fight, you can scream and shout)
You're never where I'm looking
(You can ask what's it all about)
It could be any day
You're a spirit that don't care 'bout love (never saw you coming) (Something's up, something's coming down)
(You don't really think you sticking' 'round)
Never saw you coming
I was wondering when you show up
I never saw you coming
I never saw you coming
(You can fight, you can scream and shout)
(You can ask what's it all about)

I told a friend of mine that earlier today. They're just soaking it in. And God bless them for the number of souls they've entertained. I just sigh when I realize the my "era" is now writing end-of-life songs.... They should still be doing "Pamela" back in '88. Oh well, happy to still be around for the ride..... :)
